Università Roma Tre

The course aims to offer an original perspective on Roman law through the masterpieces of the great artists whose paintings depicted ancient Rome. Those themes that most stimulated the interest and imagination of the artists, such as the role of religion and myth, the condition of women, political organization and military campaigns, will be studied in particular. At the conclusion of the module, students should have deepened their knowledge of the social and legal universe of the Romans, understood the importance of the cultural legacy it represented, and acquired the tools to explain how artists interpreted Roman antiquity, as well as the reasons for such fascination.
